  Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around

  

  CHORUS:

  D

  Set out runnin' but I take my time

    Am

  a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

     D

  If I get home before day light

    Am                          D    riff 1 (as D -> G)

  I just might get some sleep tonight

  

  Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills

  I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills ...CHORUS

  

  Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there

  took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air ...CHORUS

  

  BRIDGE:

  riff 2  D

         Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

      C/G

  The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight

  D

  Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail

      Am                            C                D   riff 3 (D -> G)

  and if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail

  

  Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee

  First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
